The LE1234-C is a high-quality spherical lens from Thorlabs, featuring a positive meniscus design with a diameter of 25.4 mm. This lens is made from N-BK7, a popular glass type known for its excellent optical properties, particularly in the infrared region. The lens has a focal length (EFL) of 100mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require moderate magnification.
The lens's geometry is characterized by a convex-concave shape, with radii of curvature of 32.1mm and 82.2mm for the front and back surfaces, respectively. This design results in a back focal length (BFL) of 95.9mm. The lens has a central thickness of 3.6mm and an edge thickness of 2mm, providing robustness and durability.
The LE1234-C is coated with Thorlabs' proprietary anti-reflection coating, THo C Bbar, on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to reduce surface reflections and increase transmission in the 1050-1700nm wavelength range, making the lens ideal for use in infrared applications.
